What on earth...

is Pooh doing to Eyore?

This is a front lawn decoration in my neighborhood (excuse the tree branches. cameras see things brains skip). I don't think the owners could tell by looking at the box what a side view from a street away would look like. Or what appears to be happening when it bobs in the wind.

I can't poke fun at the homoerotic undertones of the photo without sharing my feelings toward inflatable lawn decorations in general. That is- pretty far on the tacky side when inflated at night and look like a heap of trash during the day when they're flat. My apologies to the fans of these types of ornamentation, but really- an eight foot tall blow-up doll strapped to your lawn that looks slightly tipsy as it sways in a breeze? Not exactly a picture print by Currier and Ives.

I was just about to blog the same sort of thing.....my neighbors have this Santa stuck in a chimney with a reindeer pulling him out. It goes up and down up and down up and down. Totally dirty.

I have tried to figure out a way to take a pic of a house down the street from us. They have 4, yes FOUR of those things. And they are the huge ones that are like 15 feet tall.

No thanks ;)

I don't understand the need for giant blow up decorations, but I do appreciate the (unintentional?) humor that they provide.

I don't get why people waste their money on that stuff (sorry to anyone who has). But that view is VERY funny.

Char my neighbor has one too, up and down, etc. They also have a huge candy cane striped arch that acts like a rainbow over the drive-way.

Hate the inflatable decorations. And that's just wrong! Try explaining to your son why Pooh is humping Eyore.

"bobs in the wind", I read something completely different :)

Ditto and ditto on that pooh/eyore liaison (shameful!) and the inflatable lawn crap (tacky-orama).
Furthermore, ITA with Sheri, the way Pooh talks and handles himself makes my gaydar go DING! DING!!

I saw this EXACT same lawn decoration thingy a couple of days ago and totally chuckled! ROFL!

I hate those things too. Holy Tacky, Batman!

I think the inflatable lawn ornaments are tacky too. Plus, why spend at least $100 on something that naughty neighbor kids can poke with a pin? :)

LOL. Our part of Mex. City is FULL of inflatable decorations. Santa on a motorcycle is my personal favorite.

Yuck.

At least it's not sexually explicit. :)

I don't know what they're doing either but this is obviously a result of the Democrats' wins in the recent elections. Don't you think? ;)
